Rebecca Warren and The Third Wizarding War

Chapter 17: The Chase

Rebecca kept her collar up while trying to not draw attention to herself in class. It was five minutes until the start of it when Morgan finally showed up. She looked rough. Andrew looked at her with crossed arms. Morgan paid him no mind, but instead she went to pull down Rebecca's collar, which Rebecca put it back up immediately.

"I thought so." She said with a grin. "She was all over you last night."

More students from the party arrived before class started. Rebecca noticed Albus did not show up however.

Every class was a new challenge to hiding the hickey. Professor Stetson seemed as if she knew it was there as she took about ten points from her for improper uniform and took ten more for not fixing it.

In Transfiguration, Alexis was pretending as though nothing happened. She was quiet unless Roman spoke to her. Rebecca wanted to strike a conversation with her, but found no courage to. It was only after class did Alexis slip Rebecca a note into her book before leaving. Rebecca didn't look at it immediately. Not with prying eyes around.

At the end of the day, someone had posted a note on the notice board indicating tryouts for the Wampus Quodpot team were this Saturday. Rebecca had made her own note of it and decided to go ask Morgan for help on learning the sport. They made arrangements to go outside and learn.

Rebecca had waited for her out on the grounds not far from the snakewood tree on the edge of the forrest. Morgan arrived with Andrew, who decided to come watch. There was also a joke that he would catch Rebecca if she fell off her broom.

Morgan had a quaffle and two Nimbus 2005s which was the standard broom model for every player on each team at Ilvermorny. It was to keep from anyone gaining an advantage over the other should a rich student have the ability to buy a better broom than a poor student. Rebecca noticed on the handles that they had Donated by the Saturn Society written on them in gold.

"Does the Saturn Society have their hands on everything here?" Rebecca asked Morgan as she took a broom.

"They pay for the supplies but the teachers are employed by MACUSA." Andrew said.

"What's the difference?" Morgan said. "So, let's hop on then. You do know how to handle that thing?"

"I hate flying, but I have done the basics." Rebecca said.

"Okay." Morgan said just before she flew up into the air. "First things first, Quodpot is not quidditch so everything you know about that sport, forget it. This ball is the quod."

"That's the quaffle-" Rebecca started.

"Forget about the other sport." Morgan repeated waving her arms,frantically. Rebecca rolled her eyes.

"Now, there are eleven players to each team. They take turns scoring into a single hoop. On one drive, team A will try to score while team B will attempt to stop team A."

"Okay. One team will score while the other defends." Rebecca repeated. She still had not left the ground, but she was mounted, ready to go.

"Now the scoring team has a shot clock of about a minute before the quod explodes." Morgan said. "If the quod explodes before it goes into the goal, then whichever player is holding the quod has to leave the game and a new drive begins."

"The ball explodes, which results in an elimination of a player." Rebecca followed.

"The game ends when an entire team has been eliminated." Morgan finished. "And that's the game."

"That's actually more simple than quidditch. I like it." Rebecca admitted.

"So get up here and try to take this quod from me." Morgan was flipping the ball about a foot above Rebecca.
